The Strait Fan Message board CD Project

[Ranger]

So here it goes.

It's something I was thinking about while driving and listening to some old songs from his Strait Out Of The Box Cds.


The idea is to make a CD of your own that is a collection
of George Strait songs that you would like all in one place.



Heres the project and the rules.

1. Pick 20 George Strait songs that you like.
They can be from any album (cd) but you can only pick 20.

2. No editing your songs once you decide what you want on
the CD. It's a one shot deal and thats part of the fun.

We can make it even more fun if you make your own CD cover
art and come up with a NEW name for your 20 song CD.

I'm not big on the artwork so I will just stick to my song list.


Have at it and lets see what you can come up with.

One CD per board member.

OMG, this is gonna take some thinking time. But it sounds like fun.

ok, i'll get back to ya'll ASAP with my perfect CD.

[casims74]

I'll have to give it some thought. George has so many GRAIT songs!!

[icrossmyheart_x]

Sounds really fun! Aha. This will be hard. All of his songs are amazing. So I will have to narrow them down. One by one.. Which will take some time.. x]

[parrothead147]

I named my CD

Sundown in a Rodeo Town

I am always on the road and driving across parts of Texas
that are so far out in the middle of the country that the
radio stations are far and few between. I have to put in
a CD with at least 20 songs on it to hold me over till I can
get back to an area with a signal. I always end up in a
small town at sundown and the CD stays in the player until I leave.
So that's where the name comes from.






1. Stars On The Water (LIVE version from the DVD)

2. Amarillo by Morning

3. Blue Clear Sky

4. Heartland

5. Fool Hearted Memory

6. Give It Away

7. Write This Down

8. I can Still Make Cheyenne

9. I don't want to talk about it anymore

10. It Just Comes Natural

11. Run

12. She'll Leave You With a Smile

13. Take me back to Tulsa

14. Texas

15. The Fireman (live)

16. Seashores of old Mexico

17. High Tone Woman

18. Folsom Prison Blues (LIVE version including the intro played in concert )

19. Living & Living Well

20. Where the Sidewalk Ends

[str8fan12]

Ok, here's what I came up with... but I know I'm leaving some of my all time favorites out. It's just that there are so many and 20 songs doesn't even scratch the surface of what I love to listen to.

The title of my CD is:

STRAIT TO MY HEART

(in no particular order)

Stars On The Water (live version)
Don't Tell Me You're Not In Love
Run
Folsom Prison Blues
There Stands The Glass

Chill Of An Early Fall
Troubadour
Ready For The End Of The World
A Better Rain
Marina Del Rey
Amarillo By Morning
Unwound
Friday Night Fever
Peace Of Mind
The Nerve

[Ranger]

That should be

I have been working on this for a while and I am of the opinion, that we should agree to a "Double CD" with at least 30 (preferably 40 songs). This, however is my 20 songs for today, but check again tomorrow, it will have changed AGAIN!

Strait's Greats (or more correctly "Some of Strait's Greats")
1. Love Without End, Amen
2. Troubadour
3. The Best day
4. Wrapped
5. Write this Down
6. Make Her Fall in Love with Me Song
7. Blue Clear Sky
9. Give It Away
10. Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind
11. Unwound
12. Take Me Back to Tulsa
13. The Cowboy rides away
14. Chill of an early fall
15. Lead on
16. Amarillo by Morning
17. Baby your baby
18. Baby's Gotten Good at Goodbye
19. Run
20. One night at a time

I can totally feel the pressure and if I don't post this now - I will change it again. This was not as much fun as it should have been and I am not doing a cover for the CD. If I have to select a pic for the cover... I cannot do it (short version). Maybe the cover should just be a horse and a rope, or the cowboy roping, or just a rope, or... :-/See, I cannot do it.

[Ranger]

Great lists so far.


It was really hard for me also and I had a list of 36 then I had
to start chopping songs of the list.


My decision ended up with more upbeat songs that I enjoy
singing along to. One of the reasons I enjoy his music is that
his voice range is about the same as mine and it makes it easier
to crank it up in the car and just forget about the troubles.

[str8fan12]

Ok, There are so many more songs I want to add to my cd. Can I do it again?? lol

[whynotnow]

I tried... I can't do it... My favorite is always the song I'm listening to at the moment.. If you ever do a TOP 500 I might have a chance. Grin

[icrossmyheart_x]

Geezz (:
Still deciding! It'll be quick PROMISE!

[str8fan12]

I know you said no "re-do's" ranger, but I just remember about 20 more I need... but I'll stick to the rules. lol

[Ranger]

It was easy to make the list of songs but the song list I had
was about 30 songs long. The hardest part was deleting songs
from the list.

Just a CD with 20 songs. Songs that you want to drive around
in your car, work out at the gym etc.

It's is interesting seeing peoples collection.
